Hollyhocks And Radishes: Mrs. Chard's Almanac Cookbook

Julia Chard & her husband Marv have lived for decades in a corner of the Upper Peninsula of MI. For years, Mrs. Chard has operated a produce stand for summer visitors to the Islands.

The chapters are introduced by letters that Chard has written the author about her garden, her family & the community. The recipes, many unique, includes contemporary treatments of fresh veg. & fruits, & an exciting collection of unusual soups, plus entree dishes & old-fashioned desserts.
